Ramps up just like if you instantly mashed the throttle from a stop. No intentional standing burnouts

If maytech is good then I will try to keep up with the general shape at least with the relative trigger placement and the gripped shape.
Thank you for the offer Im in the EU @LexHoja is going to send me one in the upcoming days. Inner connection of the buttons and mechanics is the most important thing for me at the moment. Rest is not that big of a deal.
That is why I said In practical use may be it is different. This is good news.
This is just a quick sketch but I think this is more or less the maytech shape. The actual shape will be slightly different after a proper sketch but triggers and grip should be the same.
Then I recreated the Evolve R2 shape to be more 3d printer friendly and It feels good in hand as well.
When I get the maytech remote I will be able to compare them and go from there.

Iām already on it 
ā¦ Sending him a remote. Iām more than happy to get rid of it 
I noticed quite a few on here liked the dual trigger. I was talking to Zyb about this when i was in the progress of ordering a Z-mote for myself

If I could add to this, donāt try to implement any ārampingā or transitions in the remote code, just send the realtime signal. The ESC can ramp or do whatever it wants in its own code. If it needs to go from full throttle to braking in one tick, then thatās fine.
Depends what mode youāre in, but in some control modes you will be going backwards. Others will keep the brakes on but you can move a little but. Other modes will slowly start reversing. But either way the remote continues to send a full brake command the whole time.

Yup thatās gonna be my core approach but still need some tiny dead band for the braking. Applying random brakes caused by sensor noise wouldnāt be nice 
I need to inspect the internals of maytech and may be I can go with pots instead.

IMHGO deadband is better handled on the other end. Itās annoying to me when itās done in the remote firmware and isnāt adjustable.
The remoteās primary job is to transmit the userās control input. Interpreting it, IMHO should be done on the other end. And not having two things fighting over cleaning up the signals, resulting in mushy response.

ok but thereās this slight detail in split trigger version. Unlike all other remotes, this one has not one but 2 analogue readings. Meaning that you have to decide which one is actively being sent to the vesc at any given time. In order to decide on that in the code you have to give a tiny slack for the braking or it will prematurely intercept the go command and take over which is a huge problem. Yesterday I made some tests with oh49e hall sensors and its jumping around like crazy. It can yield better results with 5+samples but still it will jump around tiny bit after the calibrating the zero point(resting position).

Does anyone know how to bind the remote or itās reciever?
Hi, the remote is fantastic. Iām switching from thumb throttle. I broke my thumb joint in the last crash, so part of my issue was getting on the brakes. Iām averaging 5 mph or so higher on my rides.
Constructive criticism, Iād like to see a lanyard attachment, but itās an easy fix.

The lanyard attachment was there on mine (?) Mind you; i have the thumb-remoteā¦

it looks like you ARE correct. im shocked i missed it, shocked i say! im assuming it is the small hole at the base and you split the case,tie a knot or otherwise attach it and reassemble? even though my eyes are fine im going to blame age and poor eyesite,its better than looking clueless,OHā¦too late for that.
so i have no constructive criticism, however impossible the power consumption would be id like it (remote)heated, my hands have lots of screws and rods,pins, plates inside from surgery. toasty warm remote,yeah,and hot chococolate dispenser while we are at it.
You wrap it around the bolt inside, if I recall correctly.

thanks,this is going to be a slight upgrade over the eletric tape wraped around my remote holding on my lanyard.
honestly im contemplating velcroing it to my hand. or it would be nice if i could attach it to my wrist guard so it doesnt turn in my hand. (hey dumb ass you will destroy your remote if you crashlike this) I am in love with the finger remote, my Pschotiller build(RIP DAVE) had a cheap one, Z remote is much better
. I am so happy with how much more control i have . because i wear Hillbilly wrist ,glove & combo the remotes can be hard to grip. The loaner Puck i had was terrifying,i was always seconds from droping it.

yes i also had to do it like that.
Although the Youtube vid shows a remote/version where Zyb has an āextendedā screw-thread (where that bolt youāre talking about screws into) where you can wrap it aroundā¦
I also have a version with just the bolt to wrap it around. A little bit more fiddly ; easier to get the rope āsquashedā between the 2 halves of the casings if youāre not carefullā¦
